Note: mbBux has started it’s pre-launch phase today! See below!

I want to inform you that a brand new PTC site is about to (pre)launch within the next few days. The admin, a New Zealand guy named Brendan who’s also a member on NeoBux, told that the site should be open at around 9pm GMT today!

I tell you that because I think the guys behind this PTC really impose with professionalism, although this might only be a feeling of myself. The features of his PTC will be nearly exactly the same as those found on NeoBux, which includes instant payments, referral renting, commissions from your refs and many more exciting things like games and such.

You should watch out for new information here on TMME to sign up with them as fast as possible (hopefully under my ref link) because you’ll get the Pioneer status, meaning you’ll get more benefits compared to regular members. According to Brendan this pioneer phase will only last 2 or 3 days, maybe even shorter!

I’ll give an update once the site opens its doors. Stay tuned!

See you,

Update: As promised mbBux is now in pre-launch phase. Although it itsn’t fully functional yet, you can already test out some of the features this promising PTC will give us when it’s officially launched. Feel free to join under me and get in early to receive extra benefits like the Pioneer status!

Update 2: You may face problems accessing the site since they are still working on the code. Those problems should be cleared soon!

Welcome to part 4 of my semi-evil niche blog business experiment. I want to give you a short overview about my current progress with my niche site and what I’ve recently done for it.

It seems my little project is slowly picking up pace, although my earnings from my niche blog are still quite small. So far around 350 links were automatically sold via the great link selling service called TNX. The downside, each sold link is currently only worth 6 points and 1,000 points are worth $0.95. So basically this comes down to earnings of around $2, and I know that this is anything but  something to live from.

But on the other side it’s also worth to mention that my auto blog is still very young and therefore still ranked at the lower end when it comes to earning points via TNX. A Pagerank 1 webpage for example can easily earn you 100 to 500 points, per single link sold! Now I’m waiting for my backlinks to kick in since they will dramatically alter my ranking and therefore my earnings.

Oh yes, backlinks! Since I’m somewhat lazy when it comes to link building, I’ve done some outsourcing again. 4 days ago I ordered 2,000 directory submissions (PR 0 to 6) from a guy on the DP Forums. Today he sent me the final link report since he’s already done with his job. Awesome service! You can find his thread and more details by following this link. I paid him $28 for this service and I’m now waiting for 2K fresh backlinks pointing to my blog.

The traffic of my niche blog is increasing too, which clearly reflects in my Alexa rating. The only thing that lacks behind is my advertising revenue. I recently installed some advertising blocks from SpeedyAds (a good alternative to Adsense and such), but so far only earned some 10 cents or so. Well, seems I have to wait…

In general I love seeing my blog get filled with fresh content everyday. Several hundred posts were automatically published since I launched the site some weeks ago. And it’s worth to mention that I currently only use some Google News RSS feeds as my source for new posts (beside some articles frome EZA).

I’ll update you when my backlink campaign (hopefully) kicks in!

Cheers,
Querblogger

Hi and welcome back to TMME! Christmas and New Year holidays are over for me and I’m finally back to provide you with fresh money making news as usual. I hope you had some great days and I wish you all the best for this year, which hopefully will be a turning point in my online career too (hey, who knows? )

To be honest, I haven’t really worked out such thing as a master plan for 2009, but at least I know the main direction that I’ll put my efforts and work into. The next weeks and months I will concentrate on building several niche websites and blogs, all with different methods. I’ll do this for different purposes, be it for ad revenue, affiliate sales or even flipping my sites for some healthy profits. Right now I’m still working on my automated blog about water fuel, with which I see some steady progress, both in the blog’s rankings and my (yet small) earnings. The next big thing I’ll test out is a blog purely based on public domain (free and quality) content, more on this later…

Within the next days I’ll write some updates on my current money makers like NeoBux or my affiliate niche sites. So far I can say that I’m still making money with my small online business. It’s not much, but enough to invest some bucks back in bigger projects (or to allow myself some extra Xmas gifts, hehe…).

Ok, enough for the moment. Stay tuned and keep coming back to my blog!

See you soon,
